In the past two months, due to weather reasons, it is not suitable for large-scale operations. In addition to some dispatched troops blocking the main roads, the rest is the mutual attempt of scouts on both sides to kill.

One side wants to completely seal the connection between Yongdu and the outside world, but the other side naturally does not want to be the turtle of the man and is determined to open up an outward channel. Large-scale troops are not suitable for dispatch, and it may not be very effective if dispatched. Then the contest between scouts and small groups of elite cavalry has become the mainstream.

Once the small groups of people on this battlefield of hundreds of kilometers were met, they would end up endlessly. At first, the Ming army had the upper hand, but after two months, the Thunder Army, the most elite force of the Qin army, finally matured slowly. After paying countless blood and life, they finally completed their transformation.

They got back their disadvantage bit by bit, and in this almost uninhabited place, they finally became evenly matched with the small army of the Ming army.

Yongdu was very big, but except for some Yongdu and some acropolis that protected him outside, there was no longer any smoke. People either hid in the city or fled.

A hundred miles apart and deserted, in this big winter, there is nothing but thick snow.

Both sides were red in their eyes. When they met, they pulled out their knife and started to work. Both sides were cavalry and were extremely mobile. Generally speaking, it was difficult for anyone to survive on the failed side.

Today is an exception. The two sides met suddenly, but they started to confront each other because of the hundreds of refugees in the middle.

Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to die. If the opponent launched an attack without hesitation, he would explain it to him today. Of course, he was unwilling to accept this. He had not married his little wife yet.

The hesitation of the opponent's general immediately gave him the opportunity.

If you can't fight, then these hundreds of Qin people will become powerful bargaining chips in your hands. Of course, if the other party decides to kill them in the end, even if he only has ten cavalry, he will not be able to stand still. However, once the two sides fight, it will be a problem that how many refugees who are now in trouble can survive.

As soon as the war begins, killing enemies and seeking life becomes the subject. No one cares whether the soldiers or civilians are in front of their horses. They will destroy the speed of the war horses to the extreme in order to get a faster killing speed.

Cheng Xiaoyu's bold actions made the other party a little surprised. They stared at Cheng Xiaoyu who was walking in, but they forgot to stop him, and even made no sound. It was not until Cheng Xiaoyu walked to the distance of only ten steps left from the Qin general that the man finally reacted. He slowly lifted the knife.

Cheng Xiaoyu's heart immediately rose to his throat.

He paused and looked at the other person.

The other party was also looking at him.

Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath and put a smile on his face that he thought was very kind. He pointed at the trembling refugees behind him.

In front of him were the Thunder Army's hundreds of horses, and behind him were more than 500 refugees. Behind the refugees were his ten subordinates. Although all the ten people were pale, the knife was still steadily held and no one fled, which made Cheng Xiaoyu very happy. If they ran away, they would be afraid that they would be stabbed.

"They are all people of Shuanglian City." Cheng Xiaoyu spoke, "It seems that Shuanglian City has no food anymore, so he had to expel the ordinary people who are not fighting. There were originally more than a thousand people, but now, only half of them are left, and the rest are frozen to death in the wind and snow last night."

Cheng Xiaoyu said calmly. He had already calmed down completely, and even while carefully observing the other party's reaction.

The Qin general on the opposite side had a little convulsing face. They did not have the good protective equipment like the Ming army. Many parts of their faces were frozen and cracked, and their hands holding the knife were covered with frostbite.

"No one can save them except us." Cheng Xiaoyu said. "You have no food, no clothing, and even a stable station. Only when you reach us can they survive."

"So you can choose to start a war, or my subordinates and I will die here in battle, but you should also understand that if we die, these more than 500 people will become burial objects. Even if they can survive the battle, they will not be able to survive the next wind and snow. Even if they are lucky enough to survive the wind and snow, they will starve to death after all."

The Qin general's face on the opposite side was even more severe. Blood squirted from the bloody hole on his face, and some yellow water with frostbite and ruptured frostbite. Most of him and his soldiers were like this. It can be seen that their lives were extremely difficult.

"You damn invaders." General Qin finally spoke, looking at Cheng Xiaoyu, his eyes full of disgust. "They originally had a home to resist the cold wind and food to survive the cold winter. It was because of you that they had reached this point. Now, you actually want to be good people. Without you, how could they have reached this point."

Cheng Xiaoyu spread his hands, "I don't know what you said, because I'm just a soldier. But I can tell you that I was also a Qin person half a year ago, but now I have become a Ming person. But I never regret it because I lived much better than before. Not only me, but also Qin people in Qingzhou, Xingyuan, Danyang, Hulao and other places. They are now very happy to have become Ming people. I don't understand what invasion or invasion, but now the people of the original Qin areas occupied by the Ming Dynasty live very comfortable, full food, warm clothes, no one is displaced, and no one is frozen to death in the wind and snow."

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu confessed that he was a Qin man six months ago, the fierce look in Qin general's eyes was even stronger, "Traitor!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Cheng Xiaoyu's face.

"I still remember when I was very young, there was a family of people, father, mother, grandpa, grandma, brothers, and sisters. They were all very hardworking and worked hard every day, but after a year, we still couldn't eat enough. It was also in such a snowy day, because we really couldn't pay the taxes paid, the officials of the Qin Dynasty drove the family out of the house and all the things in the house were taken away."

Qin General's face changed slightly.

"It was also like this snowy night. Our family, except me, were frozen to death. Grandpa, grandma, father and mother surrounded us children in the middle and tried their best to resist the snow and snow for us. But except for me, my brothers and sisters still freeze to death."

A glimmer of hatred flashed in Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes.

"More than ten years have passed, I have grown up and I have become a soldier of the Hulao Border Army. But a few years ago, I could still see someone frozen to death in the wilderness at any time, and someone was driven out of the house because he could not pay taxes and became a refugee."

"We have low requirements, we just want to survive, but why can't we even achieve such a simple requirement? However, the Ming Dynasty gave me hope that they occupied the land of our Qin State, but the places they occupied did not freeze to death, starve to death, and no one was expelled from the house. In the past six months, I have traveled with the army to many places. Every time I pass by, I can see the officials of the Ming Dynasty pulling trucks of food and trucks of clothes collecting trucks of clothes.

Gather the people who were separated by the war, help them build houses, and help them sow land. There is no levy or labor service, and as long as they are willing to work, they can get corresponding rewards. This winter is the most comfortable winter for the people of Qin I have ever seen, so I don’t think I am treason. If you insist on thinking so, then I want to say, what if I betray a Qin State where even the people’s belly cannot fill up and lie on the people’s body to suck blood and sweat, so what if I betrayed?"

General Qin was furious and suddenly raised the steel knife in his hand.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at him with a sneer and said, "So what if you are angry and embarrassed, so what? We can run away. Before we find you, we can run away, but we didn't leave, because we left, these hundreds of people will die. I have suffered such sins, and I don't want them to die. But you raise your knife and you can kill us, but next, these hundreds of people will die because of you. This general, this is the difference between the Ming and Qin State! Our superiors tell us that protecting the people and keeping them from being bullied by anyone is the duty of our Ming soldiers."

Both sides raised their sabers, and the war horses under their crotch felt the high fighting spirit, raised their heads and neighed. The atmosphere in the field was about to break out. At this time, as long as both sides made any unintentional action, it might immediately trigger a battle.

Cheng Xiaoyu stared at the general opposite, and the general on the other side gritted his teeth, but was also staring at him fiercely.

In the unsettling silence, a baby's cry suddenly rang out. The baby's cry was full of energy and loud.

The fighting spirit that had just burst out from both sides, because of the sound of the baby's crying, slowly dissipated in the air.

General Qin looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes flying down on his face quickly melted, and water stains flowed down his face. The knife he held slowly lowered.

He waved his arm, choked, and the steel knife was sheathed.

He turned the horses and went silently to the distance.

After taking a last look at the hundreds of refugees, more than a hundred Qin soldiers silently followed their generals to the distance in the wind and snow. The speed became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, they had already submerged into the boundless wind and snow.

Cheng Xiaoyu's clothes were already wet. Just now, he fought back and forth several times in front of the Hall of Hell.

The ten soldiers were also in shock. Looking at the Qin army leaving, they all looked lucky to have survived the disaster.
